Here's a continuation of the original post that we can use to highlight and organize a South Sound meeting place for the ADV Rider crowd.
<o> </o>
So, thinking along the same lines as the event everyone enjoyed this weekend at Redhook, let&#8217;s come up with a joint down south that rocks!
<o> </o>
Visibility, access, parking, seating, food and beer&#8230;you know the drill!
<o> </o>
So, South-Sounders, tell us about joints down in your neck of the woods that might be strong candidates as an ADV Rider meeting spot!

Yeah, I saw that one. Thanks for the suggestion! I like where you're headed suggesting that place!

<st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Renton</st1lace></st1:City> is still sort of middle sound and I think, based on the feedback at Redhook this weekend, that the Riders are looking for something a bit further south. Oly, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Tacoma</st1lace></st1:City>, you know, down south a bit

I'm sure we'll all check this place out at some point! It looks pretty damn cool! So long as the beer is cold...

A good friend of mine is one of the owners of Fish Brewing and likes the whole ADV Rider idea! I wanted the check in with him first (read: warn him) before posting.

So, I&#8217;d like to welcome you all to meet up at their new brewpub on the next decent Saturday or Sunday for another round of meet-and-greet, or &#8220;MAG,&#8221; as it's now being called. Lots of good food and plenty of great times await!

Let&#8217;s hear from you!

Does this sound like a winner?

the Fishbowl is a great place to meet. Peak hours (4 - 8pm) / parking = "fa-ged-aboud-it". that doesn't mean not doable though. i can always pee on a parking spot or two to mark terriory (which is kinda common in oly). Plus if the owner knew we were coming he could reserve us the front.

I think it would be worthwhile to invite Riders to meet for breakfast and lunch, since both spots are so close to one another. Hell, there could be Riders within a three-block radius all day long! Now, there's some visibility!

idealisticly a day could start at the spar, make a run up the peninsula maybe ride some forest roads depending on the group and end the day back at the fishbowl. yes yes, i've een called genius be bafore
